Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 fresh blackberries
  • 3-4 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 1/2 oz honey syrup
  • Sparkling water
  • Crushed ice
  • Garnish: lemon wheel mint sprig

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a shaker or sturdy glass, muddle the blackberries and mint together until fully broken down. This extracts the berry juice and mint oils.
  2. Step 2: Add lemon juice, orange juice, and honey syrup to the mixture. Stir or shake briefly to combine and chill.
  3. Step 3: Fine strain the mixture into a highball or rocks glass filled with crushed ice. This ensures a smooth drink without pulp or leaves.
  4. Step 4: Top with sparkling water and gently stir to mix. Avoid over-stirring to preserve the bubbles.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with a lemon wheel and a fresh mint sprig just before serving. Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.

Notes

  • Note 1: To batch for a group, multiply the juice and syrup by 4 and build in a pitcher. Add sparkling water and ice just before serving.
  • Note 2: To make vegan-friendly, swap honey syrup with agave syrup in equal parts.
